Windshield Pilkington or OEM Volvo

Pilkington>Carlex

Pilkington is waaaaay superior to whatever OEM supplier they use. Porsche, Land Rover, and many other luxury brands use Pilkington for their glass, and it holds up very well! My Cayenne's windshield is absolutely battered, and it's still on its original glass from 2012.

2015 and got a plinkton front windshield after oem cracked within a year, in all these years it’s taken quite a few rocks with no damage at all, I’m quite happy with it.

You are totally good with Pilkington glass though I had Safelite replace my old Jetta with that brand and it’s as good if not better than OEM glass.

After our OEM windshield was demolished, it was replaced with Pilkington auto glass. And that Pilkington glass is FAR superior to OEM Subaru glass!

Pilkington auto glass for our replacement windshield. Pilkington glass is FAR superior to Subaru’s OEM glass. It’s taken some small rock hits on the highway with no problems whatsoever.

I have an aftermarket pinketon glass on another car. Frankly, on that car, it seemed more durable than the factory glass.

The Pilkington windshield is fine, but the rain sensor has been much glitchier than with the original windshield.

Don't get the Subaru glass. It sucks. It's thin and cracks easily. Try to get a Pilkington replacement if you can. Much better! My Subaru glass lasted less than a year before cracking. I've had the Pilkington for two now and have taken a handful of rocks off of it. Still looks good as new.

I got a pilkington replacement from a local auto glass shop. I'm seeing some distortions in the glass as a scan across the windshield, so I have reason to doubt the quality of pilkington glass.
